Road Trip from Nigeria to Benin Republic: All You Need to Know

Benin Republic (also known as the Republic of Benin) is situated in the heart of West Africa, sharing its borders with Nigeria, Niger, Burkina Faso and Togo. The country, named after the Benin Empire that existed until 1897, gained independence from France in 1960, and became a republic shortly after. As one of the smaller West African countries with an area of 44,310 square miles (114,763 square kilometers), it’s no surprise that most tourists visiting Benin Republic prefer to fly there.

But there are others ways you can get to Benin Republic from Nigeria apart from taking a plane like going by road and the route you take will depend on your budget and preferences. The drive itself may be long, but it’s one of the most beautiful in Africa, passing through gorgeous landscapes before reaching the lovely city of Cotonou, Benin Republic’s capital. I have compiled all the information you need to plan your own trip to Benin Republic from Nigeria by road, so you can make your dream vacation become a reality!
